Whitmer Could Face Criminal Charges Over COVID Deaths, Prosecutor Says
Fox News ^ | 03.09.2021 | Edmund DeMarche

A county prosecutor in Michigan told a local news station Monday that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer could possibly face charges for her early handling of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities during the coronavirus pandemic.

Peter Lucido, the Macomb County prosecutor, told WXYZ.com that he is limited in his own investigation into nursing home deaths, but if it is revealed that there was "willful neglect of office" or "reckless endangerment of a person’s life," there could be criminal charges.

Lucido, a former Republican state senator, appealed to those in the state who may have lost loved ones to the virus who were in nursing homes to seek out information about the deaths. He said HIPPAA laws prevent his office from obtaining some patient information.

Whitmer’s office did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.

Her office issued a statement to WXYZ and called Lucido’s comments "shameful political attacks based in neither fact or reality." Her office said that one of Lucido’s former Republican colleagues admitted that they "have not seen any evidence or testimony that says that a nursing home was forced to take someone against their will."

Yeah but that could put Pelosi at risk for giving the orders solely so Trump could be blamed for those deaths. I guess they’ll have to charge Whitmer with sexual assault as well.

"...based in neither fact or reality."

Claim that it's science. Works every time.

Pray as if it all depended upon divine intervention, and work as if it depended upon you alone. Gretchen Dearest is facing the kind of nasty backlash that Andrew Cuomo is going through right now, and while Cuomo does not yet seem ready to capitulate, the handwriting is upon the wall.

The meaning of the writing on the wall - The words were “Mene Mene Tekel Upharisan,” and Daniel told Belshazzar that he had transgressed against the Lord and his kingdom was going to be taken from him that very night.

She won’t get prosecuted but a nice scandal over her ineptitude would be a good thing...

It’s a glimmer of hope that some these Democrat Governors aka Tyrants are facing some pushback...

Cuomo might actually have to go with major Democrats calling for him to resign...

Gavin Newsom is all but certain to face a recall election, he probably wins but a certain amount of humiliation is a good thing for him...

Now Gretchen Whitmer who had the exact same nursing home policy as Cuomo is coming to light....even if nothing happens to her, it will be good to see exposed just a little bit what a idiot she is..

Her Lesbo AG went after the former Governor for the Flint Water debacle (caused by DemoRATS). This now opens up the Pandora’s Box to have prosecutors to got after WitLess. Never let a crisis go to waste. LMAO!

The scales of justice needs a little calibration.
